Chinese telecom and internet company Huawei defended is independence on Sunday and said it would condemn any infiltration of its servers by the U.S. National Security Agency if reports of such activities by the NSA were true. The New York Times and German magazine Der Spiegel reported this weekend, citing documents leaked by former U.S. security contractor Edward Snowden, that the NSA had obtained sensitive data and monitored Huawei executives communications. If the actions in the report are true, Huawei condemns such activities that invaded and infiltrated into our internal corporate network and monitored our communications, Huaweis global cyber security officer, John Suffolk, told Reuters. Corporate networks are under constant probe and attack from different sources – such is the status quo in todays digital age, said Suffolk, defending Huaweis independence and security record, saying it was very successful in 145 countries.
